Articulating American Principles & Values

Rep. Allen West “Liberals Closing Ranks”

I am pleased to congratulate my House colleague, Congressman Paul Ryan, on being selected to join Mitt Romney on the road to the White House as his Vice Presidential running-mate. As I have always said, I will wholeheartedly support the Republican candidates, and with a true fiscal conservative Paul Ryan, on the ticket, I am particularly pleased to do so.

Of course, Congressman Ryan will immediately come under attack from his intellectual inferiors. They will accuse him, like they have accused me, of wanting to “end Medicare as we know it” despite the fact that this claim was long ago discredited as the “Lie of the Year”. Like my liberal opponent, President Obama has no workable solutions and no record to run on so he will lie and smear Paul Ryan, and left-wing groups and the media will predictably close ranks behind him.

Speaking of liberals closing ranks, the NAACP has come to the defense of my liberal opponent and his dad for launching a racially charged attack portraying me with a gold tooth and punching white women and seniors in the face while stealing cash from a black family. The NAACP now says the attack doesn’t play on racial stereotypes. The fact that the NAACP is capable of suspending disbelief in their evaluation of this despicable attack shows they are completely blinded by their allegiance to the Democrat Party and they have no credibility.

These attacks are disgraceful and over the top. Unfortunately, like my opponent, the media condones them and they are only going to get worse in the next 86 days. Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and all of our great conservative candidates around the country will face possibly the most unprecedented mudslinging in modern American political history. Thanks to allies like
you, we will continue to speak the truth and bypass the media filter to expose the left’s record of failure and ideologically bankrupt agenda. With your help, we will win a decisive victory on November 6.
